Antifungal Properties of Fucus vesiculosus L. Supercritical Fluid Extract Against Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium oxysporum

In this study, potential antifungal properties of a brown alga Fucus vesiculosus were evaluated.The algal extract was obtained with the use of supercritical fluid extraction (scCO2) at a temperature of 50 °C under a pressure of 300 bar.The aqueous solution of the extract at the concentration of 0.05%, 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% was studied against pa

New Perspectives of Gene Therapy on Polyglutamine Spinocerebellar Ataxias: From Molecular Targets to Novel Nanovectors

Seven of the most frequent spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are caused by a pathological expansion of a cytosine, adenine and guanine (CAG) trinucleotide repeat located in exonic regions of unrelated genes, which in turn leads to the synthesis of polyglutamine (polyQ) proteins.PolyQ proteins are prone to aggregate and form intracellular inclusions, w

Observation of Six Pre-Flare VLP Pulsations in Solar Corona

Solar flares are sudden bursts in the solar atmosphere, which emit from radio wavelengths to gamma rays, and according to their energy, are classified into different classes (A, B, C, M, and X, respectively).Predicting the time of the flare occurrence and determining its class type can help reduce its destructive effects.One of the observable bvla
